Boo! A Madea Halloween

First of all, I would like to announce I'm a HUGE Madea fan ever since I watched the first one and have watched all of them.

There were certainly good elements in this Madea but the movie lost my attention at times. Some scenes were way too long - first thing you learn as a screenwriter is not to write a scene that's over 3 minutes, especially not at the beginning, or you may lose your viewers. Some parts of the dialogue were redundant.

Some of the Actors are not actual actors but Youtube sensations. Their acting was not the most convincing. It's hard to be over-the-top character-style (like Tyler Perry does with Madea) but still be believable. It also take talent to be natural and not over-the-top when needed. Acting is an Art and takes lots of training. Some may believe the number of followers is more important to the success of a project than actual talent, I would have to disagree on that one.

This Madea is not one of the Madea's I would watch again. In the end, it could have been better.

I still love Madea and will keep going and being a big fan. And I can't wait for the next one.

PS. Bloopers after credits come up are funny. If you go, make sure you stay until the end.

So, usually I avoid these movies like the black plague, but from the poster and the trailer, something told me this was going to be worth the ticket price, and I was right.

A Madea Halloween is hilarious in it's stupidity, and you can't help but to laugh at it. Madea's nephew (both played by writer director and producer Tyler Perry) ask her to watch his daughter, Tiffany, in order to keep her from leaving the house to go to a Halloween frat party, but Tiffany like a rebellious teenage girl sneaks out of the house anyway. Bad for her, cause Madea is definitely not the family member a teenage girl wants tracking her down.

Tyler Perry tends to make movies that speak to a certain movie watcher, and I fully admit, with A Madea Halloween, I was totally listening to everything he had to say. It was like a good stand up comedian telling a joke that makes you laugh out loud because it's so true. Believe you me, I'm no hater, but I'm the not the biggest fan of Tyler Perry either, but he got me with this one. I just could not help but to relate and it made me just push out my laughter uncontrollably at moments.

A Medea Halloween is not going to win any awards and it's not even trying. It's just trying to be stupid, and it succeeds greatly creating a hilarious movie that reminds me of a Holiday special you would see on TV, that's perfect for this time of season, with just the right style of camp that makes it in the so bad it's good category, perfect for a comedy with horror elements.

It's a whole lot of fun.

so sweet and so funny! I know people have their opinions about Tyler Perry...but I love him and I think that he is so talented and so funny. Madea is awesome and she is so funny and just a really likable character. I will always love his stories because they always have a great message and I love how he believes in Jesus and I love the faith aspect in his movies. This is a great movie and I will love to see it every Halloween.

As expected this movie was based on various stereotypes of the black community. After all Tyler Perry's entire career is based on the exploitation of racial stereotypes. While I don't condone that I have to say that the movie was funnier than expected. It definitely had its moments.

As far as I can tell most people watched this movie mainly because one of the protagonists is a famous Youtube personality (Yousef Erakat). I personally am not too fond of his Youtube videos but his acting performance was solid. Gotta give it to him.

Final verdict: Not quite re-watchable but it's a solid comedy.

Boo! A Madea Halloween (2016) is a movie that I recently watched on Peacock. The storyline follows a father struggling with his teenage daughter who is a 17-year-old freshman in college. He recruits the help of Madea to set her straight on respecting adults and herself.

This movie is written, directed and stars Tyler Perry (Diary of a Mad Black Woman) and also stars Cassi Davis (House of Payne), Patrice Lovely (Madea Family Funeral), Yousef Erakat (We Love You), Bella Thorne (Scream: The TV Series) and Lexy Panterra (There's Someone Inside Your House).

The best part of the movie is the opening trick-or-treat scene with "Biggie." I was cracking up during that entire sequence. The Madea and Tyler Perry (as the father) conversations were also hilarious as was Madea's brother, Joe (as always). There's also a good fraternity punch in the face scene and a booby conversation that's laugh out loud good.

Tyga being in this was an A+ too.

Overall, while this movie isn't "good" there are enough entertaining scenes to make this worth a watch. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
